Chapter 78: Manmin City

Li Yaozhi put the precious wooden box containing the white jade bracelet into the ring, and said to the shopkeeper: "Do you know that a demon cultivator has appeared in a mortal town five hundred miles north of Fang City?"

"I really know this. There was a casual cultivator in the community before. He came to me to buy rejuvenation pills and exorcism pills. It shows that his injury is not serious! I also heard from other monks that the demons there are now The cultivator is getting more and more rampant, and many disciples from major sects have gone there to investigate. Unfortunately, they have all gone and never returned. They must have been killed by the evil cultivator. I advise you not to go." The shopkeeper told the truth, After that, he gave Li Yaozhi serious advice.

"Thank you Taoist friend for informing me. It's just that I came to the world of immortality from the mortal world and have been working in the world of immortality for many years. Now I have achieved some results, so I wanted to go back to my hometown to have a look. I didn't expect that something like this happened. Alas..." Li Yaozhi looked sad. , the tone became more and more sad, and the voice gradually became lower.

"Then fellow Taoist, you must be careful!"

"Well, thank you Taoist friend for telling me this news today. I have to go on my way, so I won't stay any longer. I'll say goodbye."

Since she had no usable spiritual stones, she gave up the idea of ​​exchanging some gold and silver coins, so she thanked the shopkeeper who wanted to give them to her and turned around and left Lingyun Pavilion.

……

Li Yaozhi released the shuttle outside the workshop, activated the invisibility formation on it, and rushed all the way to the mortal town.

……

"Ten thousand people, city" Li Yao read the words on the city gate word by word. Before he entered the city gate, he was stopped by the soldiers watching the city gate.

"Little girl, it costs three copper coins to enter the city."

How can she have any money?It’s so poor now, no, maybe you can’t even hear the sound!

"I'm sorry, brothers, I don't have any coins with me now. Can I go to the city gate first and earn some money before giving it to you?"

"If you don't have money, who are you lying to? You, a little girl, are wearing a dress made of white silk and a snow-white animal skin. You can't buy it without 200 taels of silver!" One of them, Gao Zhuang, said The soldier laughed and said to Li Yao.

Li Yaozhi lowered her head and looked at her outfit. She was indeed a bit luxurious. She didn't look like someone with no money. The skin was made from the white fox that Bingyu hunted for her. Because the fox skin was too big, she cast a shrinking spell on it. , I sewed two straps and put it on my body. I didn’t expect it to be quite beautiful and suitable.

Now that the soldier said it, it was really hard for her to get credit.

Suddenly, Li Yaozhi thought of something: By the way, I seem to have some gold and silver jewelry!
She searched for an old storage bag in the wooden house, took out a gold hairpin, and put it on the table in the wooden house.

"I remembered, I brought a Bu Yao with me when I came out. Wait for me to break some gold from it for you."

As she spoke, Li Yaozhi took out an exquisite phoenix with beads from her arms and shook it. Just as she was about to break off one of the phoenix's feathers, she was stopped by someone.

"Wait a minute, I paid this girl's entry fee for her."

A fresh and handsome young man walked over from the side and stretched out his hand to stop her movement.

Li Yaozhi watched the other party pay three copper coins for her. In line with the idea of ​​not taking advantage of ordinary people, she showed the Bu Yao to the other party and said, "Thank you so much, little brother. When I go to the city and sell this Bu Yao, I will pay it back to you." money."

"You don't have to pay it back, it's just three copper coins, but girl, you came out alone at such a young age and didn't bring any servants with you."

Li Yaozhi said in a low tone, "Oh, I had a fight with my mother and I don't want to go back." After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the city, saying as she walked: "I'll sell this step and pay you back!"

The young man immediately chased after him, followed by a boy who looked to be the same age as him.

"If you insist on selling this step rocker, why don't you sell it to me? My sister is getting married the day after tomorrow, and I'm worried about not finding a good gift for you. Your step rocker has a lifelike golden phoenix eagle with tassels. Inlaid with white pearls and red agate of different sizes, the whole wave is exquisite and luxurious, just suitable as a dowry for my sister. How about I pay 500 taels of silver to buy it?"

Hearing 500 taels of silver, Li Yaozhi stopped. This step looks good. After all, it is made by the methods of immortal cultivators. Although it is only an ordinary product, but... in the eyes of mortals, it reflects His skills are very high!No wonder this young man is willing to pay such a high price, then don’t blame her for ripping people off.

"According to what you said, I can really pay 500 taels of silver to buy it. If you buy it, you can't return it." Li Yaozhi reminded the young man of the last sentence.

"Well, I won't retreat, don't worry!" the young man assured, patting his chest.

Li Yaozhi handed Bu Yao to the other party, "Okay, I'll sell it to you."

"Don't give it to me yet. I haven't given you any money yet. Do you know that you can't give your property to others like this outside? And..." Seeing that Li Yaozhi was shaking his hand to him without any precautions, the young man waved his hands repeatedly. After receiving it, Li Yaozhi forced it into his arms.

Seeing this, the young man completely determined in his heart that Li Yaozhi was the child of a wealthy family, and ran away from home because of a grudge against his family.

In fact, Li Yaozhi just didn't want to hold the step all the time. Anyway, the boy had already said that if he wanted to buy it, he should give it to him first.

However, if the other party wants to go back on her word or cheat her, she, Li Yaozhi, can beat him beyond recognition even with her brute force today!
Don't expect her to lie to others just because she was young!

…………

Li Yaozhi followed the other party to a wealthy family. The plaque in front of the house read: Song Mansion.

Two servants in blue clothes at the door saw the young man and said, "Second young man."

"Yes." The young man walking in front turned around and said, "Girl, please, my family has a clean and upright family tradition, girl, don't be afraid."

"Well, don't worry, I'm not afraid." Li Yaozhi smiled slightly. Who in the mortal world is she, an immortal cultivator, afraid of?Even if there are bad people, they can teach him to be a new person.

The young man introduced her into the house, and saw a maid coming towards her, half squatting and saluting: "Second Young Master, you are back. Madam just wanted to talk to you!"

"Oh, please get up. Where is your mother now?" the young master asked.

"Thank you, Master. Master, Madam is now admiring the plum blossoms in the garden." The maid stood up and said respectfully.

"Well, I understand, you can lead the way!" the young man ordered.

"Yes."

"Girl, let's go too!" the young man said to Li Yao.

"it is good."

The two of them followed the maid all the way to a white plum garden. Some of the white plums were in buds and waiting to bloom on beautiful branches, and some were already quietly blooming. Each one exuded an elegant atmosphere, and bursts of fragrance were exuded from the pink stamens. …

"Girl, please wait here for a moment." The young man pointed to a stone table next to the tree for her to sit down, and then ordered the maid to pour a cup of hot tea.

The young man came to a lady in her early 40s not far away and bowed. Then he showed the golden walking stick to her, and pointed to where Li Yaozhi was. The other party took the golden walking stick from the young man's hand and looked at it. , then smiled and nodded at him...

Not long after, the young man returned to Li Yaozhi, holding a 500-tael silver note and handing it to her.

"Girl, this is a 500-tael silver note. Please check it."

Although Li Yaozhi had never seen the banknote and could not tell whether it was genuine or not, but judging from the innocent appearance of the other party, he definitely would not lie to her, so he accepted it directly.

"I believe you." Li Yaozhi raised his feet and was about to walk out.

"Hey...wait a minute, miss. My mother is afraid that it might be inconvenient for you to be out alone at such a young age. Besides, the city has been uneasy recently, so she invites you to stay in my Song Mansion for a few more days. After you get in touch with your family, she will go back. .”

Li Yaozhi thought for a moment. Since she couldn't easily reveal her identity as an immortal cultivator when she came to the mortal world, and at the same time she also had to secretly investigate matters about demon cultivators, it would be a good idea to stay in this city.

Moreover, the Song family is a wealthy family, so they might know some information that ordinary mortals don't know.

"Thank you, Mrs. Song, for me. You are right. In this case, there will be more interruptions. My surname is Li Yaozhi. You can call me Miss Li from now on."

"My name is Chuan Hong. Girls, please call me Brother Song."
